Pursuit Debuts OS 355 During Annual Dealer Meeting
October 15, 2015 - Sarasota, Florida — Pursuit Boats debuted their new 355 OFFSHORE and 238 CENTER CONSOLE to a select group of marine media today under crystal clear Florida skies. These are the first of four exciting products coming to market this year as Pursuit is on an aggressive design and engineering schedule to meet the growing demand for their product.
“All of the Pursuit products are in great demand right now as the market has responded well to the new blend of modern features, styling and materials created for today’s discerning customers. Our blend of luxury, yacht-caliber designs meld innovative amenities with timeless and classic American styling delivering an experience unmatched in today’s marketplace,” George Hetzel, Vice President Sales and Marketing, S2 Yachts.
The C238 and the OS 355 are powered by reliable Yamaha Engines elevating the proven performance of the Pursuit hulls by building on a more than 30 year relationship with the number one power provider in the marine industry, Yamaha Motor Corporation. The OS 355, powered by twin F350s, cruises at a strong 28 MPH with a range of over 300 miles while the C 238, powered by a single F250, cruises at 25 MPH with a range of 280 miles. Push either boat up a few more RPM’s and run all day long at 30 MPH without sacrificing any significant overall mileage. That power happens around the 4000 RPM level, a real sweet spot for the Yamaha power when matched with the Pursuit hull.
Highlights for the OS 355 include a single-piece, laminated, optically clear windshield. Hull platform extensions give the hull a very sleek and stylish profile while also providing excellent water access and maneuverability around the transom, with the added benefit of a port to starboard bridgeway. Hull-side windows, thru stem anchoring and an industry-leading bow sunpad option are just a few of the innovative features that place this Pursuit in a class all her own. For Captains intent on servicing their own vessels, the large mechanical access with sliding generator rails and well-placed filter/rigging access are evident of a thoroughly thought out design.
Dedicated aft facing cockpit seating, along with starboard-side pull-out gunwale lounge seating and convertible transom seating can easily accommodate five guests adjacent to the entertainment center. Slide out the automatic, retractable sunshade and place the cockpit table in the dedicated in-floor receiver and you have the perfect space to entertain all your friends and family.
The helm seat adjusts fore and aft along with the ability to rotate 180 degrees and view the cockpit, adjustable armrests are included. A flip down step and dedicated foot rests complete the helm and paired with the ergonomic controls and mechanical switches make the boat a joy to run.
